IRONMAN UK

IRONMAN UK returns to Bolton and Lancashire with a course that features breathtaking views and a spectator-friendly course.

The course includes a beautiful lake swim in Pennington Flash.

There are numerous viewing opportunities for spectators at the start and T1.

The bike course includes the famous Sheep House Lane climb twice where spectators can get up close and personal with the athletes in true Tour de France style. The run begins at T2 at the Macron Stadium and athletes will head into Bolton town centre, where they complete three loops of a circuit before finishing in Le Mans Crescent in the shadow of the Albert Hall.
